He is ever-preoccupied by atrocity, but still finds time for love and splendor. By the second verse, his penchant for love becomes a set of crippling fears. Mac sounds both in love and disappointed in himself. Love can be wanton and desperate, and “Perfecto” is proof that our intentions do not always match our outcomes. We all know what it means to want something so bad you break it by mistake. “Perfecto” is a string of arguments in poetic motion, and we feel for Mac. “ Tell me you love me, spin me around / Pretty please pick me up in the air and don't put me down,” he urges. The breakdown of the track, a cataclysmic leveling, shows us that Mac’s irreverence was childish defensiveness. This, of course, informs the “ (Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it?)” that peppers the hook. If you fight enough, the fights become routine and unremarkable, and they never dissipate. We are the only ones in the midst of strife now, and yet we cannot seem to wrest our way out we don’t want to. Something to be weathered, Mac never once sounds despondent as he admits to “ buggin’, buggin’, makin’ something out of nothin’.” Closing the first verse with “ I'm treading water, I swear / That if I drown I don't care / They callin' for me from the shore, I need more” as it relates to the hook, puts us in a position of indulging in the turmoil to the point of it damaging everything and everyone. The first verse and hook of “Perfecto” illustrate pettiness and argument, anxiety and obsession, as features of any old love story.
